Yeah but it's like throwing a party for jews, you get bored, so you invite nazis to liven things up.

Er, in case it isn't obvious. Discord isn't exactly a villain anymore. He is in fact reformed. He's just... well... kind of a jerk. I don't think Nazis to a Jewish party is quite the same analogy.

Right now it's more like inviting your "crazy uncle" (Even if you don't have one, think hypothetically) to a family reunion that would otherwise be uninteresting. But he livens up the party if he's there with crazy shenanigans whether or not most people actually attending are amused by the antics.

With how long Celestia has lived she's probably had enough of the uninteresting galas. Both Season 1's Finale as well as this episode are a result of Celestia just wanting to have fun for once.
Yeah...having fun watching everyone feel humiliated

Sesame Streets came into my mind. I died there, in the English class...
 
We have synopsis for Episodes 9, 10, and 11

One special note is that Episode 9 is the 100th episode of the show. The staff has actually been hyping that one because it's a particularly special one that focuses on some of the popular Background Ponies as opposed to the Mane 6.

"As Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Rarity battle a monster, the rest of Ponyville rushes to make it to a wedding on time."

"When Spike is put in charge of making sure nothing disturbs Princess Twilight, the power soon goes to his head and he begins making decisions in her name."

"An important friendship summit takes a disastrous turn and it's up to Pinkie Pie to save the day."
 
I saw Season 1 & 2 ages ago (back when you could call people "everypony" on certain places of the internet without getting angry-mobbed) and I saw Season 3 and 4 when they aired so I might be forgetting some things.

Out of Season 5 I've only seen the premiere episodes (with the gobbudisd pony) and the Discord episode. I liked the stoner pony. Tree Hugger, was it? I'll be watching the rest of Season 5 when I get a chance.

What's wrong with Celestia inviting Discord to a place the Mane Six are? Don't they still have the power to turn him into a statue? "Send Tree Hugger back to Ponyville or we'll turn you into a statue!"

They gave up the elements to the Tree of Harmony back in the Season Opener. So they couldn't just do that.

By now though, Discord's no longer a bad guy in the sense that Equestria's in danger while he's out. As even shown in the episode, Discord's too attached to Fluttershy now.

To change the subject for a sec, the main reason I didn't like Keep Calm and Flutter On was this. Discord was perfectly in-character (a Hades-like troll) for most of the episode, and then he suddenly becomes obsessed with friendship at the end.

Yeah it was pretty rushed. I felt Season 4 did a good job in fixing it. Even taking a little bit of a slow route. He was still pretty much a big jerk around where in the opener he briefly forgets Fluttershy's name (Though that also may have been just a joke) and even grabs Rainbow instead of Fluttershy. People who liked that episode kinda hated that moment of the Opener but it felt right with me personally since it kinda made more sense then the instant 180 degree flip.

Then the Season 4 Finale making an actual solid reason for Discord to turn good for his friends for good after he's betrayed by Tirek.

Looks like Gilda will make her first appearence since 94 episodes ago.

Kinda expected since it would be a missed oppurtunity for there to be no Gilda when not only is this a Pinkie and Rainbow duo episode like Griffon the Brush-Off was but they're going to the land of the griffons. This episode got a whole lot interesting either way though. And it already was pretty important since this is part of the Season's arc.
